move 1: Hurricane
move 2: Defog

evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Noivern assists Dragon teams by acting as its primary form of entry hazard control and a stallbreaker. Defog and Taunt are used in tandem to remove hazards on the field and prevent foes from setting them up. However, Taunt has additional merit in preventing foes such as Corviknight and Toxapex from setting up and recovering health. Roost is used to maintain Noivern's health and creates opportunities to disrupt the foe later in the match. Heavy-Duty Boots is used to prevent damage taken upon entry from Stealth Rock so that Noivern can remove it for the team. It's also incredibly fast and naturally outspeeds most of the metagame, so foes will rarely disrupt Noivern from performing its roles.
Dragon-types generally appreciate Noivern for its ability to remove entry hazards from the field, as doing so would permit them to stay as healthy as possible. Some Dragon-types such as Dragapult and Choice Scarf Dracovish rely on their Speed in order to break through foes and require Noivern's help more in preventing Sticky Web from affecting their wallbreaking abilities. Choice Scarf Duraludon helps Noivern by using its Speed and STAB Flash Cannon to check Fairy-types, especially those who are faster than Noivern, such as Choice Scarf Gardevoir and Ribombee. Other teammates such as Hydreigon and Kommo-o that rely on setup moves appreciate Noivern's ability to Taunt foes that can prevent them from wallbreaking or sweeping, such as Whirlwind Hippowdon and Haze Toxapex.
